I am currently attending UCSD from Houston as an out-of-state freshman. Unfortunately, I am not very happy here because:

a) The school is too big for me. b) I've decided I want to major in English (I thought Biology before) and the school leans more towards science and technology. c) The tuition was suddenly and drastically increased a few weeks before school started. d) I lean only slightly to the right in politics, but I'm too conservative for most of the people here. e) The uncle I had who lived here died this summer, and I can't stop thinking about it because the city reminds me of him (we were very close).

At any rate, I want to transfer as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it seems like I can't find any decent colleges that accept freshman transfer students for the spring semester. Does anyone know of any in the near-Texas-area, midwest or northeast that might fit a person with these stats?:

You get the idea. My major career interests are writing, music, and medicine. Does anyone have any suggestions for a smaller school (2000 - 9000 people) that might fit me better? As I said, it would be extremely helpful if it accepted freshman transfer students in the spring, but all suggestions are appreciated. You can assume that my college GPA will be high because I plan to spend this quarter studying hard so I can leave.

Anyway, any input at all is appreciated! So far, Rice seems like the best option, but they only accept fall transfer applicants...
